C
Comb your hair and paint and powder
F
You act proud and I'll act prouder
G
You sing loud and I'll sing louder
G
Tonight we're setting the woods on fire

C
You my gal and I'm your feller
F
Dress up in your frock of yeller
G
I'll look swell but you'll look sweller
G                 C
Setting the woods on fire

F
We'll take in all the honkey tonks
F
Tonihgt we're having fun
D7
We'll show the folks a brand new dance
G    No chord
That never has been done

C
I don't care who thinks we're silly
F
You be Daffy and I'll be Dilly
G
We'll order up to bowls of chili
G                 C
Setting the woods on fire

Solo

C
I'll gas up my hot rod stocker
F
We'll get hotter than a poker
G
You'll be broke but I'll be broker
G
Tonight we're setting the woods on fire

C
We'll sit close to one another
F
Up the one street and down the other
G
We'll have a time O brother
G                  C
Setting the woods on fire

F
We'll put aside a little time
F
To fix a flat or two
D7
My tires and tubes are doing fine
G    No Chord
But the air is showing through

C
You clap hands and I'll start bowing
F
We'll do all the laws allowin'
G
Tomorrow I'll be right back plowing
G                 C
Setting the woods on fire
